I struggled with addiction for years, and what really helped me handle triggers in everyday life was finding healthy coping mechanisms. For me, that meant diving into hobbies like painting and hiking, and surrounding myself with supportive friends and family who understood my journey. It wasn't easy, and there were definitely setbacks along the way, but having a strong support system made all the difference.
I also found therapy and support groups to be incredibly helpful in navigating triggers and learning how to cope with them in a healthy way. It's a journey, and there will be ups and downs, but finding what works for you and staying committed to your recovery is key. You're not alone in this, and there are resources out there to help you every step of the way.
